Scientists detect gravitational waves confirming Einstein’s prediction
LIGO researchers announced the first direct detection of gravitational waves at a National Press Club briefing in Washington. The signal from a binary black hole collision 1.3 billion light years away matched relativity predictions and opens a new window into astronomy with facilities in Hanford and Livingston.
